The official press release confirming President Mahama’s firing of former Deputy Communications Minister, Victoria Hammah was sent to various media houses via the Ministry of Information and Media Relations. The main Minister of Information and Media Relations appended his signature authenticating it.
The brief and vague letter read:
Her sack followed when the minister’s phone conversation slipped into the media. There were a lot of matters the Minister addressed in her gossip. As to which of them infuriated the President to show her the exit door is unknown to Ghanaians as at now.
www.233times.net was to publish this piece earlier but for benefit of doubt that the President will in the same way he relieved the Minister come out with explanation(s) for her exit, halted it.
Was it her ambition to make a million dollars in her fertile occupation? , Was it her spew of how influential the Lithurs or the 1st Lady is?, Was it her bragging that “my appointment was solid way back” with snapping of fingers to demonstrate how confident she was?.
It is not clear as at which principle of the law Victoria Hammah broke to be fired and if there is any, can it be clear to Ghanaians?
The Minister was paid from the government’s account which is fueled by Ghanaian workers sweat that is why Ghanaians are concerned to know what made the President sack Victoria Hammah.
Waiting for the reason(s).
I shall return!
